Ask HN: I'm going to China. What privacy precautions can/should I take?
In the title. I've never been to Asia before, and I'm very excited for the trip. I'm an outspoken advocate for e-rights, from privacy to freedom of information. Needless to say, I don't mesh well with, nor agree with Chinese govt. policy. Is there anything I should know before going? I've heard horror stories about dissidents being kidnapped for speaking out, etc. I'm unsure what stories are fact, what stories are exaggerated, and what stories are pure fiction. I'm respectful, and obviously won't go and force my views on others, but where is the dividing line? Should I never mention the great firewall? Should I get a VPN, or is that illegal? Thanks for any advice. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18159509 Points: 4 # Comments: 4 from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2C3y5Kq via

Ask HN: Examples of AI ethical principles?
Hi. I work in the investment field. The firm I work at invests in AI companies from time to time. Without presuming to know investees' ethical situations better than they do, I would like to be in a situation to at least recommend best practices -- or conceivably on the more activist end of the spectrum require that investees acknowledge agreement with our ethical principles around AI. Before beginning a discussion around this within the firm I want to educate myself. We as a firm need to figure out what our principles are. What links and advice can you share for our reference? For this purpose please interpret "AI" extremely broadly. Unfortunately I can't give specifics about the type of investments we make.
